Steps:
- Preheat the panini machine. Cut the ciabatta loaf into 4 equal pieces. Halve each piece horizontally to make 4 sandwiches. Brush the bread on both sides with olive oil and place the bottom-half of the bread slices in the panini machine in a single layer. Heat until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes. Continue with the remaining top slices of bread.
- While the top slices of the bread are in the Panini machine, begin forming the sandwiches. Divide the cheese among the warm bread. Cover the cheese with slices of fruit. Drizzle the fruit with honey. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with a handful of arugula. Place the warmed top half of the bread over the arugula and return the competed sandwich to the panini machine for 1 to 2 minutes more to finish melting the cheese. Remove from the panini machine. Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose ripe pears: Use ripe pears for the best flavor and texture. Look for pears that are slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet aroma.
- Thinly slice the pears: Thinly slicing the pears will help them cook evenly and quickly. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer to get thin, even slices.
- Use a good quality bread: The type of bread you use will make a big difference in the final product. Look for a sturdy bread that will hold up well to the fillings. Ciabatta, focaccia, and sourdough are all good choices.
- Spread the butter on the bread slices: Butter the bread slices before grilling. This will help the bread to brown and crisp up nicely.
- Add cheese to both sides of the sandwich: Adding cheese to both sides of the sandwich will help to keep the fillings in place and prevent them from falling out. Shredded or sliced cheese can both be used.
- Grill the sandwich over medium heat: Grill the sandwich over medium heat so that the cheese has time to melt and the bread has time to brown. If the heat is too high, the bread will burn before the cheese has a chance to melt.
Conclusion:
The Taleggio and Pear Panini is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for lunch or dinner. The combination of sweet pears, creamy Taleggio cheese, and salty prosciutto is sure to please everyone. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect Taleggio and Pear Panini at home.
